The difference is that Tesla spends enormous manufacturing cost on aesthetics. Where this sub looks like a bucket of bolts.

I own a Tesla, and I can tell you that the aesthetics are only aesthetics. The beauty is literally skin-deep. Inside, the car is bodged together to make manufacturing as cheap as possible and with no other considerations.

Tesla likes to boast about the safety of their cars, and while I don't deny this, I believe that the safety is an accidental side-effect of the inherence properties of building a car with no explosive fuel and a heavy battery pack at the very bottom of the car.

If safety is an accidental side effect, then why are no other electric vehicles ranked as high in safety?

Where did you read that?

Many other EVs have equivalent safety ratings.

Using the euroncap ratings you used as an example, the model Y received the highest rating ever tested
